That was what happened when I went for my first ever Reiki treatment. You will always hear me say ‘It opened doors I didn’t know existed’ so now I’m opening that door for you too.
My name is Lucy Anne Flinn and I’m so glad you’re here, I’m glad that I’m here. I would like to share with you how this journey all began for me, perhaps it might resonate, or inspire you to appreciate your own self-chosen journey.
Since as long as I can remember, I have always felt different to everyone around me. I never quite understood why but as I got older, I got better at hiding my differences from the world. It’s ironic that I say that I felt different because most people have always described me as ‘relatable’, which I would agree with. What I mean by different, is that I saw the world differently, I was diagnosed with ADHD at 24 years old. If you know anything about Neurodiversity, imagine growing up as a fish, but told that you were a reptile, and that you should come to the surface and play on the sand, yet every time you did, you realised you couldn’t play like everyone else, but whereas everyone else can play in the sand, you play best when you swim deeper into the water instead, but whenever you did, you felt ashamed of it because you thought you were a reptile. How confusing it must be for those of us who have these invisible differences, that are in fact invisible even to their logical brain, but just a feeling that you aren’t living up to your potential for one reason or another. Yet the way that you are is actually beautiful, and powerful if you understand it. The complexity of the mind reminds me of energy in this way, it is something you cannot see, but can feel, very strongly.
TRIGGER WARNING: I will be lightly discussing sensitive topics around mental health so please skip to the next paragraph if you feel that this may affect you.
I was always a sensitive child, I wanted lots of hugs and attention. As I got older, from 11-16, I experienced grief and loss in my family. I suffered with Depression for a long time after this, not really understanding what it was as I was only 13/14 years old. I matured very quickly from this, which was a very lonely time in my life. Eventually, the Depression turned to numbness, the numbness turned to Anxiety. At 17, I was a victim of rape. This traumatic event led to flashbacks, panic attacks and PTSD episodes. I consumed a lot of alcohol, weed, nicotine and other substances, some of them daily. Now if you have suffered with poor mental health or know someone who has, you will know how difficult it is to get help from the NHS. Now, I know some people may have successfully received help from them, but in my experience, the NHS Mental Health service failed me. I tried anti-depressants, which only made me numb. I tried different NHS therapists, one of which actually used the sessions to talk about her problems rather than mine. I gave up on help, and in a moment of desperation during lockdown, I tried to take my own life. This was a wakeup call, I felt truly grateful to be alive and I made the vow that I would NEVER do this again.
END OF TRIGGER WARNING: Now that you briefly know about my rock bottom, let’s talk about my sky high.
When I discovered Reiki. I came across a shop with an advertisement. Curious, I booked a session. After the session, I felt like it opened doors I didn’t know existed, I had no other way to explain this feeling. I called a friend right away to tell them about it. I was so happy, I felt so light I was floating to the bus stop! I had never felt this good. Ever.
A while passed, with lockdown and my moment of desperation, I felt drawn to Reiki again. I was sat on the bus on my usual route to work when I looked up and saw a holistic centre. I straight away googled it and emailed them about Reiki. I had a call with the Reiki Master there, who spent a good while talking to me and listening. She suggested, that I learn Reiki instead of going for a treatment, so that I could have as much Reiki as I want, when I want. This Reiki Master became my Teacher, Sahera Parveen. I am eternally grateful that I met her, the guidance and unwavering support I have had throughout my journey has been astronomical.
My life has completely changed with Reiki. After I learnt Reiki, for months I was riding on clouds of unconditional love. Humans, animals and babies were drawn to my energy. I was filled with so much joy and passion. I then had lots of Essenian Healings, which were the most powerful, because they are 5th dimensional. These healings healed my mental illnesses. I also started attending the monthly Pleiadian healing circles, which gave me monumental growth also.
I have been on such a transformational journey with my healings. You would never believe I am the same person that I was only a few years ago. I’ve been pulled in so many directions, my environment has completely changed. Thanks to having Reiki and the other healings as a powerful aid, I went completely sober (which was the best thing ever) and the toxins I can now focus on removing are my negative thoughts and patterns. How does this show up in my life? Strength, Love and Connection… Life has its ups and its downs, but through the esoteric knowledge I have learned, I know how to appreciate both and find my way back to balance.
Why am I here? I just went with the flow, and every single flow led me here. Every single door led back to this one. The moment I realised that it was me who build these walls, just so that I could learn how to break them. I am a god spark, living a human experience. Here is where I choose to love myself deeply, here is where I remember my soul’s mission, to walk through the door to my soul and to show you the door to your soul. Back home, to where you have always belonged.
Welcome to your healing journey. From my experience, it is the greatest journey you will ever take.
